Yes, it did go by fast and I had a free day for it. You are right, our opinions, at the end of day, don't make a hill of beans.

Thanks for the entertainment, you knothead!

You also, you also!

Well said, Charles, well said!!

That's why Disney's 1993 proposal to build an American history theme park near Manassas Battlefield was defeated by a broad coalition that feared vulgarization of the Civil War (and that was wiser than me; at the time I obtusely saw little harm in the venture). It's why the commercial viewing tower built right on the border of Gettysburg was taken down by the Park Service. It's why, while no one objects to Japanese cultural centers, the idea of putting one up at Pearl Harbor would be offensive.

Of course that strain represents only a minority of Muslims. Islam is no more intrinsically Islamist than present-day Germany is Nazi -- yet despite contemporary Germany's innocence, no German of goodwill would even think of proposing a German cultural center at, say, Treblinka.

Which makes you wonder about the goodwill behind Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf's proposal.

The governor of New York offered to help find land to build the mosque elsewhere. A mosque really seeking to build bridges, Rauf's ostensible hope for the structure, would accept the offer.

Nearly 70% of Americans against it. Up from 52%. And only 31% of New Yorkers in favor. Down from 32%.

According to the new survey out Wednesday, nearly 70 percent of all Americans oppose the controversial plan to build the mosque.....

A lot has happened since then, but a July Quinnipiac poll found 52% of New Yorkers opposed the project, compared with 31% who supported it.
